BioE 4120/6120: Orthopaedic Engineering & Pathology
Interdisciplinary study of clinical orthopaedic cases (bone growth, bone remodeling, osteoarthritis, implant fixation and joint replacements); biomechanical, biomaterials, tribology and clinical diagnosis of failed implants (total joint replacements, fracture fixation and spinal instrumentation); basic concepts of orthopaedic pathology for engineers. |
BioE 4510-2: Creative Inquiry- Clemson University Retrieval of Explants in Orthopaedics
Creative inquiry engages undergraduate student teams in projects meant to develop the students' skills in literature research, engineering design, and data analysis. The long term goal of this creative inquiry team is to establish, promote and grow a viable Clemson University Implant Retrieval Program. The aim is to provide a working repository for retrieved implants, and to develop the tools and techniques for the systematic evaluation of implant designs, materials, surfaces and function. |
BioE 8150: Design, Manufacturing and Validation Methods for Reusable Medical Devices
A detailed overview of design theories, regulations, methods and best practices governing the medical device reprocessing industry. Covered topics include materials, fabrication processes, and manufacturing techniques with an emphasis on remanufacturing, reprocessing, and sustainability. Knowledge and skills needed to comply with the process verification and validation requirements for Quality System Regulations are discussed, as well as information on how to implement an effective validation program with emphasis on a reprocessing approach.

| Medical Device Recycling and Reprocessing Certificate |
The Medical Device Recycling and Reprocessing Certificate program is an internship immersion and training program for engineers offered through the Department of Bioengineering. It is focused on reprocessing and
recycling of medical devices to promote sustainability in healthcare. It aims to train engineers to optimize
medical device designs for sustainability in healthcare, to gain skills in reprocessing validation methods for
industry to assure patient safety while maintaining regulatory compliance, and to develop medical device
commercialization strategies. The certificate is based on a five course, 15 credit sequence.
